Default Fender flares and winter slop

Over the summer I put 1 1/2 inch spacers on all the wheels on my 2001 . I run 31 revo's On stock Canyon rims. Now that winters here the wheels spray a ton of slush and slop down both sides of the truck. I currently have the stock fender flares the truck came with. Couldn't find what I was looking for in the search. Does anyone have or know of a good set of fender flare replacements that stick out further so I can block the spray of all that slop...thanks

bushwacker and Napier are the go to... but for both you need to cut your fenders to install...I don't know of any that just bolt right up without cutting

X2 for Bushwackers. They do pretty good for deflecting stuff too. You can see the spray pattern on the door. That was after running it through a 6" deep puddle and going pretty fast.

Do you NEED the spacers? Might consider yanking the spacers during the winter months, then reinstall in the spring. I could see the fronts rubbing the LCAs at full lock, but that's easily avoided.
